As expected from the trailer, the movie changes everything fans know about the original story.
The backstory is much more complex, explaining the motivations of The Lion Kings villain, Scar.
This is furthered in the scene where Simba and Mufasa speak about the great kings in the sky.

They decide to go to themythical land of Milele.
Along the way, they meet Sarabi, Zazu, and Rafiki, who join them on their quest.
The five continue on their journey while being pursued by the enemy group.
His motivation never makes complete sense in that movie, as hes a very black-and-white villain.
He wants the throne because he thinks Mufasa stole it.
Without the live-action prequel, there isnt a deeper layer or explanation about why he believes that.
Moreover, King Obasi primed him throughout his childhood to see himself as above others.
Ultimately, this belief is strong enough to motivate his scheme to take over the Pride Lands.
Does Mufasa Make The Lion King’s Brotherly Rivalry Better Or Worse?
In the original movie, Mufasa is noble and strong, while Scar is smart and power-hungry.
InMufasa:The Lion King, Mufasa is noble and strong, while Taka is smart and power-hungry.
The only time they behave differently is when theyre children.
Ultimately,The Lion King: Mufasais not necessary for fans ofThe Lion Kingto watch the prequel.
